A GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD FOR FICTION 2024
Would you want to know what your colleagues say behind your back?
Jolene certainly doesn’t.
She’s riddled with anxiety, depressed, and hates her coworkers. The less she knows about them, the better.
So when a catastrophic IT f*ck up grants her access to all of their emails and private messages, she’s initially horrified. The last thing she wants is to be privy to their sad discussions about dying desk plants and marital troubles.
That’s until, with job cuts looming, she realises the power this new-found knowledge gives her.
But as she digs deeper and deeper into the private lives of her colleagues, Jolene uncovers a lot more than she bargained for… And the walls she’d so carefully built start crumbling down.
For readers who loved The Office US and Really Good, Actually comes the awkward heroine you’re about to fall in love with

AN APPLE TOP TEN FAVOURITE DEBUT OF 2024
A GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD FOR FICTION 2024

I loved this, and couldn't stop listening! The narration was perfect. My only criticism of the book is that it's a little heavy on simile at times and a little unrealistic at times too. But I couldn't stop listening - I was always looking forward to when I would next hear from Jolene, who I loved.

Probably in my top five books this year. Loved it from start to finish. Great inventive story, clever, witty, funny, sad - sometimes at the same time! I can’t believe it’s the first book from a new author. Looking forward to her next book.
I must also compliment the narrator who captured the mood and nuances perfectly.PBee 2024-11-09 -

A good book, I was never bored. I liked the characters and I was really rooting for her all the way through.
